They said sugar was the white death. So, alternate sweeteners came out and people said those were made of various things and not healthy.

I get a kick out of the fake sweetener I use. It says it's "plant-based." Wait a minute - isn't sugar cane also a plant?

Anyway, get plenty of rest, eat healthy, get exercise, reduce stress when you can. Drink only in moderation. If cancer and such does not run in your family, then sometime between the age of 70 and 100, you will die.

The fact is, white cane sugar is one of the worst things you can put into your body...other than out and out poisons or polonium. Increases liklydood of all sorts of diseases, rots your teeth, and makes you obese. Cancer loves it.

"But it makes my coke taste better." Which is certainly does. LOL

I dont know if corn syrup is as bad.

I bough PLTR at the end of December for $81, bought more at $135. Hoping they get a few few more .mil and .gov contracts. I'm planning on holding onto it for a while, definately not a short term investment for me.

Ill take it per our pm's

And the link above from scheels, gotta look at what has the best shipping and handling too. Im glad to see Lapua brass coming back in stock, the 223 stuff was unavailable for way too long.

Yeah, it was pure luck I found it at Scheels. I've been periodically checking Grafs, Midsouth, and Powder Valley for the last year, looking for anything other than Hornady brass.

Some good info in this thread for you.
If I recall correctly 300blk (not referring to 300 whisper) was designed around a 9” barrel.
I’ve chosen that length for all of mine. Works well out to 150yds’ish using 220gr loads with Rugged 762 cans. Very quiet, very reliable.
Since the MPX was mentioned, I’ll add my experiences. Love ours. One of the most fun platforms I’ve owned. Also really enjoy the KUSA KP9. Our MPX’s with Rugged Octane 45’s are ever so slightly more quite on the gun and near the gun than any of my 300blk platforms. At 30+ yards the tone and sound is slightly different but sound level is very similar. Easily hit poppers consistently at 100yds. Wouldn’t trust the ballistics past that however.
Regarding Sig MCX/MPX’s. A lot of Sig haters out there. We are not those. Love em. Earliest models through the most recent LT’s. Love the ingenuity and features. Nothing bad to say here.

Pics?

It would appear I’m not the smartest person and didn’t get photos before I cleaned it all out. I did take some photos tonight of what looks like skipping near the chamber but again I could be and probably am wrong.

It;s called Clitoromegaly

This is an interesting video.

Already sold on the barrel from them. Just wincing at the CDG priced 300 more than I paid last time.

I also have a Gen 2 buttstock for an extra $220 making this the lightest non-magnesium chassis setup for NRL Hunter matches.

Sold

Don’t know about all branches, but the Navy say “Just say no to caffeine” for those in spec war training schools.

I can now confirm over 300 dollars later they do run great in a TL3 LOL.

I’m in a similar boat. Wanting to use TL3 LA barrels (same dimensions as original) on a TL3 SA action.

Just about any machine shop should be able to help. But I ended up picking up a few of these and they’re promising:

McMaster-Carr

McMaster-Carr is the complete source for your plant with over 595,000 products. 98% of products ordered ship from stock and deliver same or next day.

www.mcmaster.com

They’re all just ever so slightly thicker than 0.1”, which is good. I just need to take them to a flat stone a little bit and then trim down the outer diameter by putting it in the drill press or maybe router.

A local machine shop is definitely the better route though.

I dont have access to a surface grinder right now. So I made 2 on the lathe at work and then had a local shop grind them. I gave them a tolerance of +-.00025 and they are all over that. I made them out of 416 stainless and they blend into the barrel perfect.

and now financially committed.

The above is the correct answer, but you should check with Hawkins to see if they offer a shorter mag catch release. MDT and KRG both sent me the part I needed just for asking. Both were short actions. I too don't know if the same applies to long actions.

A couple stainless guns I've "restored". The first is a 629 no dash that was extremely misrepresented on Gunbroker by one of the larger sellers. It had been shot loose and suffered a timing issue as well. I also managed to apparently miss a lot of the scratches on it. My fault. It has since turned into one of my favorite revolvers and I shoot it a lot... but I keep away from full house magnums in this one. Replaced the cylinder stop and hand with sourced parts off of GB, and added both cylinder and yoke endshake bearings from Power Custom. Did the 2000 grit sandpaper, followed by a light touching up of Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish by hand. Added the smooth targets because I'm a sucker for those.







Have a 686-6 that I almost wish I hadn't bought. I hate the internal lock. Anyway, this was my test revolver in seeing how light and smooth I could get one while still having a serviceable revolver. I had at one point a Wilson Combat mainspring, but consistent ignition was gone, so I went back to the factory one.

The barrel is overclocked from the factory, and there's nothing that my limited skills can do about that. However, it shoots so well that you'd almost ignore that part. I put hours of hand polishing into this one ... and then learned that the moment you touch it you leave fingerprints everywhere. Not doing that again. I also added the early thumb piece as I hate the modern slanted ones. It is wearing Culina grips. This one is essentially a safe queen, or I let the wife shoot it.







Sorry, I thought I had more examples right off the bat. I'll have to photograph a few more revolvers in a little bit.
